To the Right Honourable, John, Earle of Casseils, Lord Keneday

It is your hap who vertue love so well,
On high to be, because you high excell,
High vertues you doe love, there place your heart.
Notable great reward that will impart.

Kend you have vertue that will bring about,
Eternall honour you shall have throughout.
Now you love vertue, afterwards twill be,
Eternall high advance will fall to thee:
Decreed is honour, noble Keneday ,
According to your worth on you to stay,
Your many vertues shall ken one by day .
